	: I have known Bill for virtually my entire 63 years. He was a good friend of my late father's. I remember visiting his home and riding his railroad. His Homestead house is unique, it was built on a man made hill that he had constructed on his property. As far as I know, it is the only house in South Florida with a basement, and his workshop was located in that basement. He is still fairly active in the live steam community.		: I have known Bill for virtually my entire 63 years. He was a good friend of my late father's.
